I'm just sick of Square Enix and their constant remakes. I can accept a game that never got an outside Japan release (Dragon Quest V), or a rare valuable game getting a port/remake (Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth), but I think they're just trying to get some easy cash. I reckon they should quite remaking the same game a million times, and come up with some fresh ideas. Remakes are a distraction to developing the bigger games. Final Fantasy XIII could've been a masterpiece, but all these pointless remakes prevent the creators from putting heart and soul into original games (how long has it been since Square Enix released an original A grade game?). I have no problems with FFIV, V and VI (as they all kick some serious ass), but too many remakes! Square Enix are a bit slack, if you ask me.

XIII won't be generation-defining RPG, it has a lot of obvious content holes, no matter what kind of talent they had they won't fill it. Now the source of issue is where are SE's original A grade games? that's highly debatable IMO. It seems to me that you had a sort of expectation of how Square 'should be'?. Personally, i can't see the harm of FF4 remake at all, and i doubt it hold any original title from release.

I think that the real motivation here is Squeenix trying to recoup their expenses from FFXIV.

By the look of a scan on Kotaku, looks like the is CG movies or something (at least, the showed a 3D CG model of their Th/Ceodore [?]).

Yeah. I'm on the bangwagon of "this is weird for a 2D port when the NDS got a 3D update".Not interested. Played the game enough and have wiiware if I want to (but this game was aggravatingly hard sometimes to wanna do it again right now haha)

That's not true. People that worked on the game didn't know the direction of the project, everyone was doing their work but nobody knew what the hell was being developed... and you can see that in the final product.

Square Enix did the best thing to market the game to the public though, graphics. They work all that time in how pretty their wallpaper was, so they just did trailers with dialog and scenes that didn't make too sense but showed how pretty it was.

And well, with that and the fact that Final Fantasy fans are crazy over the franchise the game sold well. But you know what's funny? I can see Versus XIII with the same future with the development hell that the game seems to be. A lot people said is fault of Nomura for making too many games at the same time, and with the exception of the remakes (and a miracle) the majority of what is made are just "OK games" and nothing more than that.

So yeah, people have the right to throw shit at Square Enix for not understanding what makes a game interesting, memorable or fun anymore. And again, with the exception of the remakes. They are just selling old glories that they know will sell for the sake of nostalgia.

Also, when a fan said to the public in the release of Final Fantasy XII in Japan that we just want a remake of Final Fantasy VII as soon as possible thank you very much, there's something seriously wrong with how of all this is handle.
